Teaching style
My style tends to be "Whole to Parts" because I feel that if you do not know where you are going, how will you know when you get there? If a student can see their goal better, they are more likely to buy into what I am teaching. By using personal experiences, I do my best to relate the materials in ways that are easier to understand.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Faculty of the month for December, 2014 - Bryan University.
Awards/Plaques for outstanding work from Perkins Coie (Law Firm) and Simpson, Thacher, & Bartlett (Law Firm).
My own education history
Graduated Cum Laude from the University of Advancing Technology in 2004 with a B.A. in Multimedia - specifically Digital Animation & Game Design.
This gave me a very solid background in color theory, design, 3D modeling & animation, and also many other computer/technical related topics.
Additional biographical information
I love teaching, and I have to learn that it truly is what I was born to do (I just wish I would have learned that sooner...)
